[Boost-build] [bbv2] Conditional build targets in 1.33.1

I've got a handful of targets that I am trying to build, but some of
them I want to be built only for specified toolsets. This was covered
at least once back in January:

         http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/8184/

Unfortunately, the alias approximation given to simulate if
(!<toolset>foo) no longer works with bbv2 1.33.1. I get the following
error:

         error: failed to build ./begin with properties ...
<toolset>gcc ... because no best-matching alternative could be found.

In my Jamfile I have (among other things):

         alias begin : : <toolset>gcc ;
         alias begin : /adobe/test/begin/ ;

Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Thoughts if so?

Blessings,
Foster
